“…It builds on recent work on planning for the Greater Adelaide region (Kellett, 2014;Mahmoudi et al, 2013;Robinson and Liu, 2015;Sivam et al, 2012). This shows Adelaide presents distinctive patterns of spatial growth and planning history, including several key initiatives spanning several decades (e.g.…”

“…As Mitrany's study (2005) shows, subjective estimations and objective density data can often differ considerably from each other. In addition, Sivam et al (2012) demonstrated that the perception of density is often influenced by the built form (and its image) rather than by the actual density. On the other hand, Mitrany's study, which used maps to combine subjective and objective density variables, does provide a possible direction for future softGIS studies.…”

Study of the environmental outcomes of urban densification is a highly context-dependent task. Our study shows that collecting and processing place-based survey data by means of the softGIS method is clearly helpful here. With the map-based internet questionnaire each response remains connected to both the physical environment and the everyday life of the respondent. In our study of the Kuninkaankolmio area (located in the Helsinki metropolitan region) the survey data were combined with urban density variables calculated from register-based data on the existing built environment. The regression analysis indicated that the participants in the survey preferred the same density factors for their future residence as they enjoyed in their current neighbourhood. In the second analysis we related the densities of planned infill developments with the interest respondents had shown in these projects. The results show that new and even quite dense infill developments have been found to be rather attractive, with them often being viewed as interesting supplements to the current urban texture. These findings contribute to the ongoing scientific discussion on the feasibility of densification measures and encourage the Kuninkaankolmio planners to proceed, albeit carefully, with the planned infill developments.

“…. " [28] (p. 474). Such negative associations about density in people's minds, while being emotionally understandable, are not factually supported, since there is no direct causal relationship found between the objective physical properties of density and the subjective psychological experience of crowding, even in the typical high-density living of Hong Kong [29,30].…”

Higher Density Environments and the Critical Role of City Streets as Public Open Spaces

This paper explores the relationship between crowding and streets as public open spaces in high-density urban environments from the perspectives of perceived density and human needs, two antecedents to crowdedness. City streets are the places through which various forms of crowding are perceived and experienced. Hence, they can play a role in easing this sense of crowding if corresponding strategies are put in place. The paper argues that practices, such as traffic calming and self-building, can transform the streets to serve as public open space, which increases spaciousness and eases crowding. It also puts forward tactical urbanism as a strategy for city governance to create the right conditions encouraging flourishing civil society initiatives in a dense primary environment that is invigorating and at the same time has a level of crowding perceived as both comfortable and liveable.
